This week I drafted my portion of the body of the group's white paper. Based on my research about the extent of the problem of the unreliability of Wikipedia, I put together a few paragraphs that we put together with other people's sections today. When we met as a group, we formed the draft of the white paper and included graphics. Over the next week, I will revise the group's draft on my own and list my references in APA format.

Last week:

1.) continued research

2.) group meeting in STEW library where we exchanged sources

3.) outlined my section of white paper

I have picked up two print resources from the library on Russia and the transition from communism and have begun to elaborate more fully on my section of research.  I have yet to choose a specific psyschological study to cite my work from and may just choose a general psychology text instead of specific studies since there are so many.  Today I will work with my group members to put together a rough draft of the white paper due after spring break.

3/10/09 I worked on the cover letter and chart for the white paper. I worked with some colors and deciding which layout would be best. Things are going good!

I have finished most of my research on Facebook's privacy.  I have started to wirte my section of the discussion for the white paper, which will be about Facebook's attempt to solve this problem using privacy settings on users' profiles.  I have also taken the responsibility of writing the conclusion. 

1. Met during and after class time Wednesday (3/11/09)
2. Nathaniel Stoops, JJ Nielsen, Kevin Lowry

MJGRVOE: So far I have researched how a third part app can be   desinged to  help monitor your face book  page for issues that may hurt employment. Also what things face book  coudl make inhernt to  its code to protect people form  poor repesentation  on  face book.

This week I have been organizing my sources, and picking out which information I think would be pertinent to our paper. I have found it somewhat hard to find scholarly articles on gaming piracy, while there are a plethora of personal opinions and blogging sites dedicated to the issue.  These give me a good idea of the different arguments around the issue, it doesn’t give me in factual data I can use.

Today, in class we met and wrote up the introduction to our white paper and discussed what each of the group members are contributing to the paper and by what times.

Seached for articles from online PDFs and library sources. Gathered news articles and planning outline for my part, the History of the problem.
